Splay Deformation Bands

Although splay deformation bands are not as common as other splay fractures, some have been described in the literature. For example, Mollema and Antonellini (1996), Du Bernard et al. (2002), Aydin et al. (2006), and Liu et al. (2015). For details please see the links below dealing with bands with various kinematics.

Types of Splay Deformation Bands:
Splay Volumetric BandsSplay Shear Bands
